New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is blasting U.S. immigration policy, calling it “national suicide.”

Bloomberg said Tuesday that Arizona would likely be hurt by its new immigration law. It requires authorities to question people about their immigration status if there’s reason to suspect they’re in the country illegally.

Bloomberg says countries that welcome immigrants prosper.

He says the U.S. has had some “disgraceful” and “stupid periods” in which it tried to close its borders.

Added Bloomberg: “Fortunately, sanity prevailed.”

Another one who hasn’t read the law and/or doesn’t care to relay the truth.

If Bloomberg thought for one second that illegals were bringing salt and Marlboros into the country (or smuggling middle-aged white guys unhappy with the health care bill for that matter) he’d send the Empire State’s National Guard down there to stop the insanity in a New York minute.
